My group's collaboration with @Amrinder_Nain on cell-cell collisions on nanofibers is out now!

I promise a more thorough thread in a few days when I've recovered from #apsmarch !

The PhD defense of a trainee is the most rewarding moment of this job. Today, Ernest Latorre, father of domes, defended his thesis brilliantly. He transformed my lab and inspired others.🙌

New paper on soft matter wireless power transfer by cloaking magnetic particles as fluid droplets in elastomers. Great working with N. Lazarus.
These softer-than-skin composites combine with liquid metal for #wearable power transfer.

Stress fibers are condensates within an actin network. This also implies that they interact mechanically with each other and that they form a system that allows for cell-scale mechanosensing.

How can language models learn hierarchies? In this @emnlp2020 Findings paper, we study how self-attention networks can recognize synthetic nested structures. The attention maps resemble a stack.

Our first lab pre-print is up! We can ‘herd' living cells like flocks of sheep using bioelectricity. Excited to finally share this, and special shout-outs to @tomzajdel and Gawoon Shim. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Why do some fibroblasts align and others don’t? The answer is in how they collide, which is regulated by transcription factor TFAP2C. nature.com/articles/s41563-0…
Spectacular breadth and depth of this new study by the Sahai lab. We helped with some TFM.

A really great interview by Alex Mogilner: his personal views on physical modelling of cytoskeletal dynamics and his experience of working with biologists. Very honest and interesting...

Another cool application of the suspended epithelial monolayer setup by the group of Guillaume Charras from @LondonNanotech now out in @NatureMaterials: slow compression is buffered by actomyosin contraction up to 35% strain, thus avoiding buckling nature.com/articles/s41563-0…
